recap & 4th and final league

so, after starting my season with a 535, 667, and 606. i decide to bowl a 670 in my Sunday Night Cosmic league. 216, 241, 213. so, now i need to get my tuesday night league average up so i can try to hold over a 200 avg in all 4 of my leagues. it's easy to bowl 4 leagues for me because i don't use my thumb. actually, i throw a back-up ball. everybody that sees how i throw the ball for the 1st time is amazed at how coinsistant i am, and at how many revs i get and how powerful my ball is. i just tell them that i've been doing it for about 4 yrs and started out with a 6 lb ball and just worked my way up to 16 lbs. when i first joined a league, i threw a 12 lb Columbia Scout and only had a 154 avg., that was 3 yrs ago. anyway, i get to bowl my tuesday league tonight, and hopefully i can pull my avg up a bit.

Since I work 2nd shift Mon. to Fri., I joined a Sunday Vegas Mixed league. Everyone gets to go to Vegas in June for a tournament and vacay. It's my first time back to bowling in 4 or 5 years. I bowled Junior leagues for 7+ years, now this is my first adult league.

I bowled a 147, 180, and 189 the first week...not bad just getting back into it. I got lucky I suppose. My second week was embarassing. I bowled 159, 164 and fell apart for a 117.

I bought a new ball Tues (18th) and tried it out the 19th. Hammer Black Widow Pearl. I got a few tips from my pro shop guy to get myself working on the basics again...approach, aim, and spare shooting. First 4 games ranged from 140 to 190. 5th game was a nice 259. First frame was a spare, then 7 strikes, a spare and a strike. Finished the 10th with a 5 and open...lol. It was fun having a high game again. Went for a 6th game, but ripped open the inside of my thumb where I have a callus (sp?). So now I can't bowl and have to let it heal until league come Sunday.

My previous high game is 256 league and 278 practice.

With the tips I received and the practice I got, I think I'm ready to get my average back up to the 180+ mark. The new ball will help as well. My old Reaper and Everclear did a find job back in the 90's and early 2000's, but it's time to get into something better...GO BWP!!!
